These stalks of the rather rare plant commonly called Indian
Pipe or Ghost Flower, were found In the Hyatt Lake area by Mr.
and Mrs. Alva Reed, 1357 Lawnridge, while they were hunting
mushrooms. Raskins' "Wild Flowers of the Pacific Coast" says of
the plant "A drooping flower molded from pure while wax best
describes the common Indian Pipe. Its white, almost leafless form
Is dependent upon the predigested remains of other plants for its
nutriment. This the most plentiful and best known of a large group
of saprophytic plants that are so peculiarly abundant in the moist
woods of the Coast." Mrs. Reed said she noted a clump of the
pipes growing in the moss under a tree last spring, and found it
again this fall while on her mushroom hunt. Other names for it
arc corpse plant and Ice plant; the botanical name is Monotropa

CORVALLIS-Why does meat
become more tender after it is
aged? What causes ce.tain foods
to develop "off flavors?" What
are the detrimental effects of
dietary rancid fats?
Answers to these and other
questions involving food flavor
and quality are being sought
by Oregon Mate university tood
scientists with the aid of a new,
$10,000 preparative ultracentri-fuge.
Funds for the purchase of the
new piece of equipment were
obtained through a research
grant awarded to the OSU De
partment of Food Science and
Technology hy the Public Health
Service, U.S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
Device Explained
A centrifuge is a device that
spins various materials around
so rapidly that they separate
into their constituent parts or
components on the basis of
particle weight, The ultracentri
fuge will be used to separate,
purify and concentrate the com
ponents of different foods for
further detailed analyses.
It operates at a speed of
50,000 r.p.m. With the new
equipment, OSU scientists will
be able to obtain in one hour,
results that would have taken
them up to 17 hours with the
department's older centrifuges.
Moreover, the instrument will
provide the necessary means to
complete research in certain
critical areas that has been
omitted in the past due to the
lack of such equipment.
Use of the new centrifuge, ac
cording to Dr. Allen F. Angle
meicr, OSU food scientist,
should lead to a better under
standing of the basic factors
controlling and influencing meat
tenderness. It will also make it
easier to separate, identify and
study those components that
produce the characteristic odor
and flavor of some foods, as
well as those that cause foods
to become off-flavored while in
storage.

Firm Studies Food Psychology
By JAMES V. HEALION
WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn.
(UPI) The Pilgrims landed in
America and gave thanks with
turkey on the festive board. As
tronauts reaching the moon may
De able to do just about the
same thing.
At least that's what an exper
iment undertaken by the Hamil
ton Standard Division of United
Aircraft Corp. tends to indicate
after two of its engineers sam
pled a diet similar to that of
spacemen.
The firm is the major con
tractor to tile National Aeronau
tics and Space Administration
(NASA) for development of the
space suit and related equip
ment. The object of the two-week
test was to obtain some idea of
how a specific diet would influ
ence the physical and psycholo
gical well-being of those on long
haul space runs.
Test Period
The 14-day period was Dicked
because that is approximately
how long spacemen expect to
remain on their 25,000 m.p.h.
flight to the moon and return.
Engineers Harlan Brose and
Charles Beal partook of the
sample diet faithfully but firm
conclusions remained out of
reach because the two were
able to conduct their daily lives
under normal conditions.
"In space, continuous associa
tion with a small crew and con
finement in a vehicle would in
crease psychological stresses,'
said Brose, "and gastro-intesti
nal difficulties might occur in a
zero-gravity environment."
The space fare the men ate
consisted only of freeze-dr'o-food
which was varied, nutri
tional and appetizing. But part
of the diet had an adverse re
action towards the end of the
experiment.
In essence, the men devel
oped an aversion to particular
vegetables because of what they
callM the "process taste." .
The food they ate had to be
reconstituted. Thus, they simply
added water which "s removed
in the processing stages to:
Reduce its weight by one
third, Allow for nackaging,
Reduce chances of spoilage.
Moisture Reclaimed
The engineers used ordinary
tap water. In space, however, a
fuel cell aboard the vehicle
would reclaim moisture in the
astronaut's breath and from his
body. Water also would be avail
able from other sources.
In space, the freeze-dried
foods would be sealed individu
ally in small plastic bags. At
mealtimes,- the bags would be
attached to a spigot of the ca
bin's reclaimed water supply.
The spaceman would put in
the desired amount of water,
knead the contents, wait a few
minutes for reconstitute, and
then cat the food by squeezing
it through a mouthpiece.
To prevent crumbs from es
caping and floating around in
the cabin's weightlessness,
bread wafers and similar
snacks would be coated with an
edible and protective covering.
In the experiment, the engi
neers added hot or cold water,
depending on the food, stirred
and awaited the reaction.
Scrambled eggs, for example,
required two ounces of water
and four minutes of reconstitu

Some of the hot items took
as long as 18 minutes," said
Beal. "When we were ready to
eat. some of the food had al

wives seem to be faced with al
most daily.
Brose and Beal said that
spacemen, like anybody else,
savor flavor and appearance as
well as nutritional benefits of
the food they would be expected
t0 eat- U ,J
In a statement which would
have the solid endorsement of
many an ex-GI, the engineers
said, "Lack of appealing food
could impose severe psychologi
cal stresses . . . . "
Brose and Beal each con
sumed about V.'i pounds of food
per day, averaging 2,500 cal
ories, and six pounds of water.
They conducted the test in
their offices and at home. "Sit
ting at the table with others in
the family eating conventional
food was something of a strain,"
chuckled Brose.
. Although it was not part of
the test, an item of a different
nature which can be reconstitut
ed might prove rather intrigu
ing if quaffed by space voyag
